Geraldine Fitzgerald and Ella Raines are both stunning, and also give some very good performances vying for the attention of George Sanders' titular Harry. It's a great story, appropriately strange and with a kind of sadness that's not common in noir. The ending, though, I don't know what they were thinking. Even with the code it could have been handled better. Still a very enjoyable and unique film, though.

The ending sucks. There would have been better ways of getting around the production code. But if you ignore the last two minutes, it's a terrific, dark film. Really great performances, especially Geraldine Fitzgerald, a very different kind of femme fatale. As a passive-aggressive parasite, she really inspires a lot of hatred. The film grips you with its small-scale story, and is loaded with incestuous psychodrama. It's a shame about the ending, but still worth seeing.

An excellent little noir, marred however by the fact that censors imposed a happy ending to Siodmak of the "it was all a bad dream" category. If you skip that clumsy end scene however, the film remains as a dark and disturbing work. Really worth seeing.
